The premiere of the movie placed 7th fro the week, drawing 3.9 million viewers and a 1.3 rating in Adults 18-49. An additional airing of the movie, on Saturday, placed 49th, with 2.3 million viewers. Following that airing was one of the other typical SyFy shark Movies, Sharktopus vs Pteracuda, placed 73rd. Not a bad week for SyFy and the 'B' movie franchise.
